YouTuber Basketball Forever’s trailer for his 12-part compilation that will pay tribute to some of the best NBA players in the past 20 years, including Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant, who recently announced his retirement.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson demonstrates why he’s one of the strongest men on Earth, as he picks up a 33lb keg and tosses it like it’s nothing, demolishing a world record with a distance of 24ft 6in. We’re assuming that the beer was just a bit foamy when they tapped it.

Killspencer and Snarkitecture made an all-white version of the former’s mini indoor basketball kit. It has a melamine backboard, a glossy breakaway rim, a leather net and a gray mini rubber basketball. The ball is also available separately for $25.

Wish your local basketball court had nets? Keep an eye out for Blacknet, a temporary basketball net you can bring with you. Shoot it in with the ball to install, and knock it off from under the rim to remove. It fits on most US rims (18″ diameter). Available soon.

Canadian sports channel TSN spliced together this highlight reel of an adorable little boy at a recent NHL game between the New York Rangers and the Ottawa Senators. We’re not sure he even watched any of the game, but he clearly was having the time of his life.

FIFA has released the list of nominees for the Puskás Award for goal of the year. The nominees include Lionel Messi’s wizardry at the Copa del Rey final and Carli Lloyd’s audacious chip shot at the Women’s World Cup.

With 1.1s left in the 2nd quarter against the Pacers, the Celtics made one hell of a buzzer beater. Sadly it won’t count, because Jae Crowder made the shot while inbounding the ball. From the other side of the court. Come on NBA, that has to be worth at least 1 point.

Down 3 points with only 6 seconds left against Duke, the Miami Hurricanes retreated nearly 30 yards and made eight lateral passes before clearing a way for a touchdown. The trick may have confused the refs as well, because they got a few no calls along the way. (Thanks Joel!)

xkcd already summed it up best, but The Kicker does a pretty good job of generalizing what goes on in post-game press cons, with help from Weird Al. Seriously though, these things are worthless. Everyone already knows what everyone else is going to say.

The snow is coming down, school is closed, so it’s time to play. Nike managed to assemble a veritable who’s who of pro athletes to frolic in the white stuff. Want to know something even cooler? It was all shot on a soundstage.

The latest episode of Salomon Running’s web series is an awe-inspiring introduction to Skyrunning – a sport that combines mountaineering and marathon. The video features interviews with leading skyrunners, including founder Marino Giacometti.

“Out there there ain’t no black and white. There’s only fast and slow.” A fictionalized biopic of track and field legend Jesse Owens. He won four gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics, which was held in Germany, spitting in the face of Hitler’s racist propaganda.

Up until this year, the NHL resolved regular season ties in a 5-minute sudden death overtime with four players on each side. The Flyers and the Lightning became the first teams to show the effect of the new 3-on-3 rule: ATTACK, ATTACK, (HEART) ATTACK.

Athlete Mirko Hanßen decided to ignore the instructions on his inline skate box and wears his on his hands instead of his feet. Needless to say, his version requires significantly greater balance and gymnastic skill than traditional rollerblading.

The guys from Dude Perfect attempt to perform a variety of football drills while running on tarps covered with slippery baby oil, and catching balls with their hands slathered in Vaseline. We’re impressed that anyone scored a single point.

Biking phenom and sole two-time Red Bull Rampage winner Kyle Strait went back to the old contest grounds to talk about the highlights and evolution of the competition that has helped redefine mountain biking.

Watch America go up against Estonia in the ultimate battle for slackline supremacy, turning in mad flips, bounces and spins on a springy line of webbing. That trick at 3:55 was sick. We’re just glad they didn’t try it here.

Uncanny Kenny “The Jet” Smith joins Uncanny Shaquille O’Neal and Uncanny Ernie Johnson as commentators in NBA 2K16. The three analysts will provide banter and trivia not just in the pre-game loading screen but at halftime and after the game as well.

During the Canadian Football League Labor Day Classic, a rabbit ran onto the field and proceeded to make a break for the endzone. With no defense blocking his way, he not only scored a touchdown, he did a little showboating as he crossed the goal line.

(PG-13 Language)Grantland warns pickup hoops players to stick to the normal 2- and 3-point system. Why? Because using 1s and 2s – i.e. making one shot twice as valuable as the other – encourages players to summon their inner Josh Smith.
